Miami or Genesis can be used if only the Amiga should have access to the internet using the serial port (and an external modem). This also might be a rather slow solution.

If you enable WinUAE's bsdsocket.library emulation, WinUAE replaces Miami's function and maps all TCP/IP calls to Window's TCP/IP stack. This way you can share Windows's internet connection between Windows and Amiga programs. You can even use a DSL/cable modem connection with your favourite Amiga internet applications. If you now try to start Miami (or Genesis), it will tell you that a TCP/IP stack is already running and quit.

Thanks for the clarification.
On the other hand, I've always thought that enabling bsdsocket.library emulation is the ONLY way to get into the internet with UAE. I don't think WinUAE has Miami support yet. Has anyone ever tried this with bsdsocket.library disabled and been successful in getting into the net?

There is no "Miami Support" nor can there be one. Miami is a software that uses the serial port to control a modem and provides a bsdsocket.library which is the standard TCP/IP interface for the Amiga (derived from NetBSD). Genesis does the same. If you enable WinUAE's bsdsocket option, WinUAE is the one who provides the bsdsocket.library. Starting Miami or Genesis in parallel does not work, because there already is a bsdsocket.library (WinUAE's one).
